Q

Kinesthetic- meaning and how to test

A

~feeling the change of the length of tissue
~move the joint (lengthen or shorten the muscles) and pt should be able to tell us which direction we are moving them in
~Hold on sides of limb, so the pt cannot tell which direction you are moving it based just on pressure on limb.
~Could ask where in space the limb is
~Don’t have to have limb moving at that point
